Jedox vs Microsoft Power BI comparison

"The EPM is the most valuable feature."

"The ease of reporting is one of Jedox's most valuable features."

"The data entry point is most valuable. The way we can customize our report or do data entry is very good."

"We use the tool for performance management and planning."

"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."

"The solution is very versatile."

"The customer porting is the most valuable feature."

"The ETL itself was pretty useful and it's integrated in the tenant itself. So the Olap service technology was impressive to me. In order to extract that and load it in the tube in the same tenant or the same tool that was something magnificent because I actually missed this in SEB. SEB requires another tool, and you have to integrate all the tools together. But for Jedox, it was in the one tool."

"The solution is stable with reasonable performance."

"Microsoft Power BI is an easy tool for data analysis."

"With Power BI, you're able to store your data within spreadsheets and SharePoints, and then have Power BI pull the data out and report on it. So we actually saved a ton of money not needing to load the data into databases, which is a big prerequisite for many other reporting tools."

"The reports are easy to create."

"Like all Microsoft products, it is very easy to set up initially."

"Previously we used Excel, which took a long time - two or three weeks - to bring the data into a uniform format, whereas BI can do the same job in a day."

"The Microsoft Power BI app is very good. It's also very flexible."

"What Power BI is, is a whole collection of templates of small amounts of data that can be used to do something for a real world project, that can be easily set up and become the business intelligence environment or a data warehouse for a large amount of data, for a real world customer. That's what is remarkable."

"Online pixel-perfect reporting is an aspect that has room for improvement."

"I think it's the design of the report because the design and the UI for the report is standard and lame. When you see a Jedox report, it doesn't seem like it's from today, because the technology is something from the last decade. The scalability needs improvement."

"Visualization is something they need to improve. We have already told them about this, and they should be working on it."

"There is room for improvement in the scalability. It is a very massive tool. It's not easy to just build everything yourself."

"The solution needs to improve its support. The visualization in Microsoft BI is more modern and comfortable than Jedox's. I would expect something similar with the solution."

"From a development perspective, there's room for improvement in the area called the designer, where you actually build your reports to make it easier to manage the process."

"The solution should enable a modern look and feel in the front end."

"There is not much training for Jedox."

"A few features available in Tableau are not available in Power BI. For example. Tableau has the ability to make up the physical layer and all other stuff at runtime. In Power BI, we have to develop a proper physical layer to connect it. The limitation that we normally face is related to the direct query mode. When it comes to the direct query mode, most of the functionality is not working, which is an issue for us. We have to use the direct query mode frequently because the client needs real-time data. They should work on this limitation. There are a lot of other technical things that need to be improved. I am also following the Power BI platform and Microsoft Support Center platform on the web where users have put their requirements. Microsoft is also working on improving this solution. In every update, they add new features to this solution."

"The solution's documentation needs improvement."

"I think that the solution is harder to use for people who are not experts in data."

"Their technical support can be better. They normally take too long to escalate and resolve a case."

"here are some limitations with the data models needed to build the report."

"There are some other visuals that are available in the Microsoft marketplace, however, you need to use them via trial and error. There needs to be a write-up about how to use them with a quick guide describing the visual."

"I have to write scripts to query data for analyzing performance."

"The look is simple, and could be a little more professional."

"We paid a one-time fee, which included product purchase, licensing, and first-time implementation. We are paying for the maintenance regularly."

"The product’s pricing will not be suitable for setting up a small solution."

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

"The solution's pricing is specific to your requirements."

"If you are using SAP, then you will have to take an SAP Connector license. The license across the tool is paying for the people who are using it as an admin or as a normal user. They can work out those costs in a manner that can help. This can also be a point of improvement where they can work out the costing, and the developers have a specific licensing cost. The normal users, who are going to do probably data entry or just going to view the dashboard, can have a separate license cost."

"Excellent value for money."

"We have a professional license for Microsoft BI and the price is fair."

"I have never worked on licensing, but I have heard that it is reasonable."

"Power BI comes with enterprise Microsoft licensing. So for the user, you don't have to pay, but you do have to pay a one-time cost."

"Its licensing cost is very high. It is $20 per user, which is very high, but it is a good product, so you pay for it."

"They are charging us by users in storage, and there is a license fee. My financial people handle all that. The client has already worked out a contract with Microsoft, and basically, we're getting government prices."

"There is a license for this solution and we purchase them annually."

"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."

"All in all, for the price, this is an excellent tool for helping your organization turn mounds of data into useful insights."
